Files to Print

The below files are PDF documents of the plans that are printed to scale. These documents can be taken to your local print shop and printed on 36" wide media. The prints can then be applied to the wood and used as a template to cut the side panels of the cabinet. I have only included the side panels and any other panels that may be more difficult to cut.

Drawing specific notes

For some reason, I really struggled with how to draw out this cabinet. Overall, I feel the drawings are accurate... but there are some variations in the drawing from original.

1. The original cabinet was designed and assembled using mortise and tenon joints. My donor cabinet was not to be sacrificed, so I could not destroy the cabinet to get these measurements. Much of the blocking remained the same, but the fundamental structure of the cabinet assembly has changed.

2. The monitor mounting, to include frame and hardware was a struggle. The monitor mounts to two wooden slats that are held together with metal bars. These slats are then bolted to the cabinet using an L bracket. the drawings have the drill holes for the original hardware and blocking and a modified frame if you do not have the donor cabinet hardware.

Original hardware

Modified mounting hardware

The drawing above has the drill holes for the original hardware.

The drawing above has the modified blocking to allow you to mount a monitor if you do not have the correct hardware. It is important to note that the blocking is stacked, for different offsets from the cabinet. This is to allow the monitor frame to slide in spot on the blocking.

Below is a picture of the two different monitor frames.

3. The original cabinet had solid wood skids on the bottom. These skids appeared to be made of pine and basically acted as a spacer to keep the cabinet from touching the ground. The size and width of the skids may be impact by the type of fee you are putting on the cabinet. These may need to be modified as needed.
